Abstract

In this paper, a low-cost dynamic measurement system using the RGB-depth camera, Microsoft $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2, is proposed for measuring time-varying free surface motion of liquid dampers used in building vibration mitigation. Various experimental studies are conducted consecutively: performance evaluation and validation of the $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2, real-time monitoring using the $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2 SDK(software development kits), point cloud acquisition of liquid free surface in the 3D space, comparison with the existing video sensing technology. Utilizing the proposed $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2-based measurement system in this study, dynamic behavior of liquid in a laboratory-scaled small tank under a wide frequency range of input excitation is experimentally analyzed.

본 논문에서는 건축물 진동저감장치에 적용되는 액체감쇠기 내 유체 자유표면의 동적 거동 계측을 위해 저가형 RGB-depth 센서인 Microsoft사 $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2의 활용과 계측시스템을 구축하는 방법을 제안하였다. $Kinect^{(R)}$ v2의 성능검토 및 실효성 확인, SDK(software development kit)를 사용한 실시간 모니터링, 3D 공간상에서 유체의 표면 정보 취득, 기존 비디오 센싱기법과의 비교를 통해 본 연구에서 제안한 유체의 동적 거동 계측 시스템의 정확성과 우수성을 검증하였다. 제안된 계측시스템을 활용하여 소형 수조 내 액체에 대한 동적 거동 정밀계측을 수행하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 광범위한 가진입력에 대한 유체 자유표면의 동적 거동 특징을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 RGB-depth센서의 건축물 진동저감 적용을 통해 정밀한 모니터링 시스템을 구축하고 최적화된 액체감쇠기의 설계 및 운용을 기대할 수 있다.
